26 Lordship Lane [next door to White Stuff] (Lounged)

I didn't specifically mean in the space next door to White Stuff, I meant generally .... -
26 Lordship Lane [next door to White Stuff] (Lounged)
pearcesa replied to Ultraconsultancy's topic in The Lounge
Yawn, another gift shop, to go with Willow, ED, Mrs Robinson, Celestial etc etc .... Can't people who are opening shops in this area be a little more original? I'm bored of these kind of shops that seem to want to appeal to the same kind of people - i.e. middle class people with too much money! One thing that East Dulwich could do with is a cinema, but I guess that's out! -
East Dulwich Garden Centre - possibly replaced with flats

I know nothing, but just would feel sad if the garden centre went. -
Is your property on on the market with Foxtons Dulwich? (Lounged)
pearcesa replied to maison_d'etre's topic in The Lounge
Urgh, just been in The Rye for the evening. In the smokers area at the back was a large group of suited and booted boys and stiletto-heeled girls who just I just knew were estate agents & I feel sure were Foxtonites as there were two green minis outside (but unbranded) ... I feel sad that our area has been infiltrated by this scum .... Urgh - it was a very sad day when 'that lot' arrived in our area .... -

Surely not another residential development for young professionals in East Dulwich - YAWN! I like Louisa like popping into the garden centre on an adhoc basis and buying what I need and supporting a local business! -
I was in Berlin in September, such a cool city, can't wait to go back! My friend is trying to persuade me that Rome is the place to be this year, although my boyfriend is not convinced!

The parcel sorters are lying to us
pearcesa replied to kitwhitfield's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I think the complaints are working .... ! Dare I speak too soon ... ? A post van arrived at lunchtime today and three posties got out with trolleys and were delivering post up and down the streets around Colyton Road. There was already a postie delivering on our street! I also got a whole mountain of post last week which contained all the missing items I had been waiting over a month for! Fingers crossed that this improvement in service continues! Glad to hear that Tessa Jowell has been interested in our plight too! -

A petition sounds good, we do need to take some action to get this matter sorted once and for all! -

I do believe that the postal problem does not just cover East Dulwich, my boyfriend lives in Streatham and a parcel he was waiting for just didn't arrive for over a month and then just appeared! I am finding even the 'signed for' mail comes at random. I've noticed these past few days we are getting a lot of post through our door, after a post drought for a while (yes I live on Colyton Road) but we are still getting the post for the people next door and they are getting our post too. Can these postmen not read - or they just not interested? I like other people on this forum am now having my mail sent to me at work, or am using another method (i.e courier) rather than rely on Parcel Farce! -
I went for lunch there today and loved it, great food, great views, just maybe a few too many crying children tho! ::o

Royal Mail, East Dulwich Sorting Office a Mess?
pearcesa replied to bishop's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Bishop - I live on Colyton Road & have been having problems with my post for a while, missing magazine subscriptions, cds going missing, credit cards taking ages to arrive. Today, we got so much post it was unbelievable, but sadly a lot of it belonged to the house next door! When you rang Royal Mail Customer Services what happened, did you complaint get addressed? I've given up with the sorting office in East Dulwich, its always so riduculously busy that they are not interested. -
Do you think there is anything we could do collectively about this? As Horsebox says, anything that is of any interest gets lost (i.e. magazines, cd's etc) but bills find there way thru!
-
Ha ha! Yes, we are always getting 5 or 6's post - strange when we live at 7. Clearly, the post people of SE22 can't read! Nero - I wasn't the lady with the children, I actually kept quiet, as I knew if I said something I'd get nowhere. I did pick up a card of Royal Mail Customer Services to ring, but not sure I can be bothered to call, to not get anyway!

I'm glad that it's not just me having problems with the post! The service is DIRE! I subscribe to a magazine and since the strike it's either not turned up or I receive each week's copy weeks and weeks later! I've been in contact with the subscription office but they say it's Royal Mail, I've actually now changed my delivery address to me here at work as the mail in Central London seems better. I wanted to complain on Saturday when I went to the Sorting Office to pick up something that had been sent by special delivery but the queue was ridiculous and it was clear that the office was understaffed and the guy wouldn't have been very receptive too me. I've also had post go missing, I am still waiting on a CD that was sent normal post at the beginning of November ... last I see of that I guess ... :( Does anyone know where we complain?

I heard a loud bang, then sirens, then the helicopter, I wasn't sure where it was coming from!

Foxtons has to be the worst thing that has happened to East Dulwich in a VERY long time. I keep meaning to ring up to tell them to stop putting about a million brochures through our door and how many letters has everyone got about them arriving in Dulwich? Clearly, they have no interest in the environment with the amount of paper they waste with their advertising and their mini's polluting the local atmosphere! Grrr.... Rant over! I just can't abide Foxtons I've heard so many stories from friends about their unscrupulous behaviour, I would never ever use them.

Yawn, another really useful shop then! I have no idea how these places stay open, who actually shops in these pretentious places??

That one has now gone too, but they now have this restaurant .... http://www.pavilioneast.com/index.html

Yes, it is. What a shame, thanks for letting me know tho!

Does anyone know what has happened with the Thai Pavillion? I went there in the summer and had a great meal and we decided to get a take-out last night, but when we phoned the number had a recorded message saying 'no incoming calls' and when we looked it up on the internet the website seemed to have disappeared! If it's gone it will be a shame, although it was never that busy, I found the food and the service so much better than the Thai Corner Cafe, which is always too rammed and the food not that great!

For me it has to be The Rye Hotel, shame it's not in ED! B)

pearcesa replied to BARA's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I live very close to this chemist and was not even aware that this service was provided. We've never experienced any problems.
